Also , warlow hated being a vamp but he had to have made ppl since he besides lillith who he killed was the first of their kind. Doesnt make much sense since he hated vampirism so much that it made him able to kill his own maker.

Couple days ago at the gym:

Bro: You came at the wrong time, it's just a bunch of meatheads here.

Me: Bertface.

Today:

Bro: I told you, all these meatheads....

Me: Yeah, this is the meathead section, you need to step up your game, son!

But he was like randomly standing on one of those adjustable stepper things within the cage.

He dragged it over there just to stand on while he did his forearm curls, it accomplished nothing. What is people's bizarre obsession with standing on **** above the ground unnecessarily.

I stand on the deadlift platform all the time. I look around like a hawk lookin for dinner.

It makes you look cooler.

WTF with everyone standing on the ground?

im walking across the gym to get some bumper plates, and noticed a dude loading up a prowler with like, 10 plates. dude had like 500 easy on the sled. i also noticed he was doing this in front of 2 women, and assumed he was doing this to impress them. right as i walked by, i heard him say 'watch this' (thus confirming my theory), and tries to push it with the low handles between his legs. promptly, he tips the prowler over, smacks himself in the junk with the low handles, and goes face first over the top of the sled. i was impressed.

What's with all the people doing that "steering wheel" exercise with a plate?

I have no idea if it's legit or not, but you it's never like a big dude with a 45, it's always some skinny teenage bro in a tank top with like a 10.

If I were the more hillarious type I'd be tempted to walk up to people I see doing it and making car noises, like "VROOM! VROOM! *honk* *honk*"

Simple shoulder circle rotations without weight would be better probably.

Turning the thumbs down with weight held out there narrows the opening your tendons have to move between bones in the joint, which can wear them out & injure them.

I don't think turning the thumbs down and really forcing an unnatural rotation is part of the movement - in that video he doesn't do it. Its taking the thumb pointing straight right then straight left. The rotation of the shoulder is no more extreme then if you were doing straight curls or reverse curls with a straight bar.

Oh man almost forgot. Today a guy tried to use an incline bench to do decline by laying down backwards/upside down on the bench. Like he took a stand alone bench, inclined it to the degree he wanted the decline at, placed it backwards in the power rack, and then laid back so his traps were going into the seat part of the bench. Never saw that before, thought it was weird. Looked mad awkward, and he struggled for a while, but I think he worked it out in the end...

True. G4P can be offset by being charismatic or a redeemable human being. Ogus is neither of these.

My trainer showed me this one today. It's from some facebook page called "Awkward Gym Moments" which is the Facebook equivalent of this thread.

Best bit is the little fist pump after the one-inch rack pull or whatever it is at the end.
